Senior Android Engineer & Technical Lead — Android · Flutter · iOS · KMP/CMP
Nine years leading Android engineering on systems where downtime isn't an option. I've built regulated, high-stakes platforms used by hundreds of thousands of people every day, and spent the last few years pushing that same discipline into Kotlin Multiplatform across iOS and Flutter.
Every engagement draws on the same operating principle. Ship native-quality software that survives contact with real users, at scale.
Deep Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) engineering. Platform-idiomatic architecture, Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI, tuned for how real device fleets actually behave, not just how they behave in a simulator.
Flutter and Kotlin Multiplatform to share business logic across mobile platforms without giving up native feel or performance.
REST/GraphQL integrations, backend contract debugging, and state-management architecture. The goal is a codebase that's still predictable after five more engineers have touched it.
Memory leak hunting, ANR and crash reduction, UI-thread optimization. This is what separates an app that demos well from one that survives production.
A sample of systems designed, built, and hardened for real-world scale, spanning fleet logistics and fintech ledgers.
The primary Android client for hundreds of thousands of commercial drivers across North America, keeping them compliant with FMCSA and CCMTA electronic-logging rules. I owned the core ELD/HOS workflows and the Bluetooth pairing layer that talks to Motive's in-cab Vehicle Gateway hardware.
The companion app for fleet managers and dispatchers. From one map view they get real-time GPS tracking, vehicle health telematics, and remote ELD compliance status across the whole fleet.
A regional loyalty rewards app I built from architecture through Play Store launch. Members track their Air Miles balance, browse partner offers, and redeem rewards on the go.
A cross-platform movie discovery app that shares 100% of its UI between Android and iOS through Compose Multiplatform. It's a working proof that KMP/CMP can feel fully native on both platforms from a single codebase.
These are principles that hold up under scale, team turnover, and changing requirements, not ones that just read well in a proposal.
Feedback from the people who've reviewed the architecture decisions and shipped the results.
Having worked closely with Rana for over four years, I can say he's a thoroughly dependable engineer with deep end-to-end knowledge of our compliance product. He takes strong ownership of his work, from initial feature design to long-term maintenance, and brings solid technical judgment and a great work ethic to any team.
